You are correct you can do that with my original example. However the
actual document I'm working with has more than one namespace I need to
specify. For example:

<oval_system_characteristics
  xmlns="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-system-characteristics-5"
  xmlns:oval="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-common-5"
  xmlns:oval-def="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5"
  xmlns:oval-sc="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-system-characteristics-5"
  xmlns:unix-sc="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-system-characteristics-5#unix"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5
oval-definitions-schema.xsd
    http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-system-characteristics-5
oval-system-characteristics-schema.xsd
    http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-system-characteristics-5#unix
unix-system-characteristics-schema.xsd
    http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-common-5 oval-common-schema.xsd">

...

</oval_system_characteristics>

XmlDocument.CreateElement() only lets you specify one (at far as I am
aware) so that is why I was using .SetAttribute to do it.
